Another old habit of mine: getting up very early in the morning to catch the first light of the day. It’s just a perfect start of a day to take a walk in the morning, breathing the fresh air, listening to the birds and watching the sun rise.

This is not a HDR image, as you might suppose. I blended this manually from 3 different exposures.

  • Great atmosphere – Such a beautiful view.

  • Lovely Mood, reminds me of when i used to work on a farm. :)

  • So delicate, and yet so cripsy. Very lovely.

  • Ah…the beautiful, soft colors of early morning. Wonderful shot Matthias!

  • Great mood, great sky. Very nice.

  • Yeah, full ACK. Addicting scene.

  • It is worth to get up early in the morning ;)
    Nice photo!

  • Thank you for your kind comments!

  • Am a fan of first light too. It always turns me into a mad man though, light changing so fast, it gets me running round all over the place trying to capture things.
    Nice image here, well done with the combo.

  • @ROB: Haha, yes. I’m acting like this as well sometimes. A tip: find your motif before the light comes, set up the cam and wait for the sunrise.

  • Really great composition. I like the dusky mood and the sharp background. Great job!

  • Great done with the different exposures. A wonderful morning atmosphere.

  • Awesome fog! Love the color and composition.

  • Nice shot, worth getting up early for sure. Thing is, if you blended the shot manually from 3 exposures, that IS a HDR image… no? Whether it’s automatic or manual blending, I mean…
    *confused* :-)

  • simply amazing…its a site too many people never see…the sleep lovers.

  • Wonderful shot!!! I like the composition of the loney tree. :-)

  • i love the varying tree lines.

  • Very nice. I’ve only just recently begun to fully appreciate the morning light. I was able to catch quite a few sunrises over the past few weeks, though normally I’m not a morning person . It’s totally worth it when you get some great light and fog to go along with it! Nice shot for sure.

  • amazing! great pinks / reds in the background, you can almost feel the peace and quite

  • So beautiful. Great shot.
